It was a night filled with generosity, compassion and connection, as more than 700 guests came together for the 14th Annual Black Diamond Gala Dinner in support of Lifeline WA’s life-saving work.

With hearts full and paddles raised, this year’s Gala surpassed all expectations, raising an incredible $500,000 to support 24/7 crisis support and suicide prevention services for Western Australians in need.

Held in the spirit of connection, the evening wasn’t just a celebration of giving. It was a reflection of our shared belief that every life matters and that no one should have to face their darkest moments alone.

From Backyard Conversations to National Impact 

The Black Diamond Gala Dinner has humble beginnings, what began as a spark of an idea shared over drinks in Rohan and Toni Milne’s backyard has become a cornerstone of Western Australia’s philanthropic calendar. The couple’s generosity and vision laid the foundation for this annual event, with Rohan Jewellers donating exquisite, custom-designed jewellery year after year, including this year’s breathtaking piece featuring a rare Argyle Champagne Diamond. 

For Rohan, every piece created in support of Lifeline WA carries profound personal meaning. 

“I think back to the day I found out a school friend had died by suicide. I often wonder, if he’d had someone to talk to in that moment, might he still be here?”  - Rohan Milne, Rohan Jewellers 

A Night of Elegance, Purpose, and Powerful Stories 

The success of the Black Diamond Gala Dinner would not have been possible without the incredible generosity of our partners, sponsors, and community. From the live auction to the Champagne Diamond Bar, every moment of the evening played a part in raising critical funds to ensure Lifeline WA can continue to be there for those who need us most.

Each year, this special night grows not only in scale, but in impact. The Western Australian community continues to rise, more generous, more determined, and more connected, to stand with us in the fight against suicide.

To our 32 incredible sponsors, our dedicated volunteers, and every guest who chose to show up and support suicide prevention: thank you.

From all of us at Lifeline WA, we are deeply grateful. Your support helps ensure that no one in our community has to face their darkest moment alone.
